Who we are and what we do

The One News Page website (the "Website") is a freely-accessible international news portal owned and operated by One News Page Limited, a privately-held British media firm registered in England and Wales with company registration number 6871419.

The primary purpose of the Website is to provide original news content as well as a comprehensive archive of syndicated content from selected media sources. In the case of syndicated content, the Website offers access to its comprehensive search index of online news as well as news-related video content published on the Website under publication agreements with leading video distrubtion networks. For third party news article links, the Website offers a display of partial news content (headlines and snippet descriptions of underlying news stories) which have a functional link to the provider's website area pertaining to each news item. The Website is in many respects similar in operation and service to an Internet search engine, except that it is restricted in displaying only content explicitely published by third party news providers using the RSS publishing mechanism for content syndication. In this aspect, One News Page takes a more ethical approach than most other news portal websites which tend to crawl and scrape entire web pages.

The registration is entirely optional, and the information we obtain is restricted to as little as your email address and a password you set for this website, but can include your name and location if you so choose to provide this information, which allows us to personalise our communications with you. Any such personal information is stored by us securly on our server and never shared with or communicated to any third party.

Member registration is not required in order for users to access any of the areas of the Website. All accesses to our Website are logged by us in industry-standard log files, recording all requests received by our web servers along with date and time information, details of the apparent IP address and user agent (the web browser used to access the Website), along with any referral details as is standard with any typical webserver. In addition to this, we have developed and implemented bespoke analytics functions designed to record user behaviour, such as the time spent on each of our webpages, details of mouse movement and scrolling activity as well as mouse clicks. The data obtained from these analytics functions is used to identify popular areas of the Website, allowing us to further improve our services, as well as the detection of potentially malicious non-human traffic accessing our site ("bad bot" detection) in our efforts to combat advertising fraud and other malicious activity. All of this data collection and analysis is carried out by us on a legitimate interest basis, for the prevention of fraud and to keep our services relevant and secure. We never share any of the analytics data with third parties and, having developed our own analytics functions, we are the sole controller of all of this data. All analytics data is automatically deleted by our systems one month after it is recorded.

Use of Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of text sent to your browser by a website you visit. It helps the Website to remember information about your visit, including your preferences. That can make your next visit easier and the site more useful to you.

We use two distinct cookies. Firstly, one named "ONPbiscuit" which contains a unique string distinguishing you from other users, required to provide you with our partially state-based service. Our only other cookie is named "EUcookie" which is set for users within the European Community and contains a flag indicating whether you have seen and closed our cookie consent banner - implying your consent to our use of cookies. Should you not consent to this use, you should navigate away from our site.

Additionally, a number of third parties who we partner with, for example for the purpose of providing access to video content, visitor traffic analytics or display advertising, set cookies for our domain. One of these third parties is Google, and you can view their policy on how they use data sent to their servers via cookies here.

All content, functionality and features of the Website are protected by copyright. Importantly, all title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights of the news content remain the property of the respective news publisher. Any accompanying preview thumbnail images are used as hyperlinks, having undergone an automated transformation into a link, depicted at low resolution as to make them of no value commercially as it is not intended for them to compete in any way with the actual creative works. Proper accreditation for any such preview thumbnail images is currently not always possible due to the required credit details not being passed on by news publishers as part of the estabilished data communication processes. For each news content item displayed on the Website, its publisher and owner is clearly identified as the source, and each news content item links to the original article on the publisher's website. All news content is hereby accredited to its publisher and owner as follows:

Our ethical approach to operating a news portal

The Website is a search facility, similar to Internet search engines. All news content is displayed on the Website as published by the respective publisher and owner, and is in its nature restricted to a brief headline and, if so provided, a description of the underlying news article - all of which is published using the RSS feed mechanism by the publisher. Unlike Internet search engines we do not "spider" "crawl" or "scrape" the publisher's website for full news articles. All news content on the Website is displayed with a functional link to the URL of the publisher's web page pertaining to the relevant specific news item, as published as part of the publisher's RSS feed. As a result, the Website acts as a referrer of visitor traffic to the respective news publishers' websites.

We operate a news content accreditation scheme. For further information please get in touch. If you are a publisher of news content and would like brief headlines and descriptions of news stories to be included in our search engine and appear on One News Page, please contact us.

The copyright and intellectual property rights of all elements and content of the Website other than news content remains the property of One News Page. All Rights Reserved.
